accessor methods task 2 of 2

write a public getter method named GetNumFliesEaten and a public setter method named SetNumFliesEaten for _numFliesEaten.

Frog.cs 
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Frog
    {
        private int _NumFliesEaten;
        public int  GetNumFliesEaten()
      }
       return _numFliesEaten;
      }
       public void SetNumFliesEaten(int x)
       {
         _numFliesEaten = x;
    }
}

Hi there! I received your request for assistance. You have several things going on here which are causing errors.

  • your private field should be _numFliesEaten and not _NumFliesEaten. Note the capitalization.
  • your curly braces are off in the GetFliesEaten the closing curly brace on the following line should be an open curly brace
  • you are missing a closing curly brace at the end of the file

When I correct these, your code passes. Hope this helps! :sparkles:
